NEW RAY OF HOPE FOR CANCER PATIENTS

Radiation therapy revolutionized with TrueBeamSTx

A 40 year old lady with metastatic abdominal nodal disease received a new lease of life with advanced stereotactic body radiation therapy with TrueBeam STx at BGS Global Hospitals. The tumours which are located very close to critical organs cannot be treated to high doses of radiation that is required for cure. Hence such cases will be considered for palliation only. However with TrueBeam STx, curative treatment was offered to this patient for just 5 days without harming the kidney, intestines, spinal cord and the aorta.

Radiation therapy plays a very important role in the treatment of cancer as more than 70% of all cancer patients require radiation therapy at sometime during the course of their treatment. Hence it is important for one to know about the best equipment available in radiation therapy.

Radiation therapy in treating cancer has evolved from the time when radiations were used in the crude form, ie., the era of deep X-ray therapy to high energy linear accelerators. The main aim of radiation therapy is maximum radiation dose to tumour with maximum protection of normal tissues. To achieve this, technicalities like 3D CRT, Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy, RapidArc, Stereotactic Radio-therapy and Radiosurgery evolved. But all these features were not available in one machine. A center would have 2 to 3 machines to treat all kinds of tumors. 

The latest in radiation therapy technology currently available in the world is the TrueBeam STx, a versatile machine which is capable of treating any type of tumor situated in any part of body with any of the technology at a shorter time supported with image guidance before and during treatment.

The TrueBeam STx enables faster, accurate tumor targeting in the treatment of challenging cancers throughout the body. This latest technology targets cancer cells in tumors even in organs that move with respiration (lungs, liver and kidney) with amazing accuracy while sparing the surrounding normal healthy tissues. Radiation oncologists at BGS Global Hospitals routinely perform complex procedures with precision and patient comfort. 

Patient Benefits derived with TrueBeam STx :

Accuracy and Precision – in targeting tumours

Faster treatment – Treatment in a few minutes

Quick Imaging - On Board imaging enables doctors to actually “see” the tumor they treat and target tumors with sub-millimeter accuracy. It takes care of internal organ motion and day to day set up variations.
Respiratory Gating - Tumours in organs that move along with respiration are taken care of by respiratory gating

Reduced duration of treatment – Overall duration of treatment for some tumours reduced to few days

A ray of hope – For many cancers which were hitherto written off as having no cure, there is new ray of hope with Truebeam STx.

Maximum Patient Comfort – owing to the above factors

This endeavour is ably supported by a compassionate team of specialists who offer organ specific cancer treatment. BGS Global Cancer Institute is at the forefront of cancer treatment in India offering end to end cancer care from prevention to diagnosis to rehabilitation.
